Episode 4: Made it all worthwhile!

TellTale, thanks so much for Episode 4 of Sam & Max! Quite frankly, it made the entire season worthwhile. If we'd never got to play Episode 4, I think we all would have missed out on something incredibly special and important in the Sam & Max canon.

It scares me to think that if LucasArts had got their evil way, we would never have seen ANY sequel to Sam & Max whatsoever. To think we would have lost out on anything close to the quality of "Abe Lincoln Must Die!" makes me feel that it wasn't just Sam & Max fans that were robbed on that fateful day, but the entire medium of gaming as a whole.

Thanks for re-setting that balance and giving the gaming world what it sorely needed: High quality, intelligent, inspired, imaginative gaming.

Thanks for reminding me exactly why Sam & Max rocked so much in the first place.

Oh, on a sidenote: Lucasarts is rereleasing S&M:HTR finally At least, so sayeth the Amazon…

It's been out (along with The Dig, Full Throttle and Grim Fandango + a couple of older Star Wars titles) in the UK since December last year. A few weeks back the re-releases also came out in Australia and New Zealand. It seems to be the territories where Activision is the LucasArts distribution partner (ie. not North America).

Never trust Amazon, I've seen at least 20 items for sale there that were cancelled before they were even made... (Neverhood 2000, for instance... they still have that for sale, and it doesn't even exist!)

On-topic: Ep. 4 is pure joy! The choir music as Whizzer gets back on the soda habit, the much-touted War Song, Bosco's Tommy Tutone reference... pure gold.
